The Last Laugh-Buxton Opera House
Three legendary comedians... One very unusual dressing room!
About
25th August 2026 - 29th August 2026
The Last Laugh is a "brilliant" (The Telegraph) smash-hit West-End play which imagines three of Britain's all-time greatest comedy heroes - Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe, and Bob Monkhouse - in a dressing room, discussing the secret of life, death, comedy, and what it means to be funny... really funny.
"Lovingly written and directed" (Sunday Times) by the award-winning Paul Hendy, The Last Laugh stars Damian Williams as Cooper, Simon Cartwright as Monkhouse, and Britain's Got Talent finalist Steve Royle as Morecambe.
Warm, funny, nostalgic, and poignant, The Last Laugh is "pure gold" and "pitch perfect" (Mail on Sunday), and will have you laughing and crying in equal measure. If you're a fan of comedy this "irresistible blissful blast of nostalgia and belly laughs" (Sunday Express) is not to be missed!
